defragwrapper.dll is considered a type of Dynamic Link Library (DLL) file. Dynamic Link Library files, like defragwrapper.dll, are essentially a "guide book" that stores information and instructions for executable (EXE) files - like ashampoo_winoptimizer_2020_31296.exe - to follow. These files were created so that multiple programs (eg. Ashampoo WinOptimizer) could share the same defragwrapper.dll file, saving valuable memory allocation, therefore making your computer run more efficiently.
Unfortunately, what makes DLL files so convenient and efficient, also makes them extremely vulnerable to problems. If something happens to a shared DLL file, either it goes missing or gets corrupted in some way, it can generate a "runtime" error message. Runtime is pretty self-explanatory; it means that these errors are triggered when defragwrapper.dll is attempted to be loaded either when Ashampoo WinOptimizer is starting up, or in some cases already running. Some of the most common defragwrapper.dll errors include:
- Access Violation at address - defragwrapper.dll.
- defragwrapper.dll could not be found.
- Cannot find C:\Program Files (x86)\Ashampoo\Ashampoo WinOptimizer 2020\defragwrapper.dll.
- Cannot register defragwrapper.dll.
- Cannot start Ashampoo WinOptimizer. A required component is missing: defragwrapper.dll. Please install Ashampoo WinOptimizer again.
- Failed to load defragwrapper.dll.
- The application has failed to start because defragwrapper.dll was not found.
- The file defragwrapper.dll is missing or corrupt.
- This application failed to start because defragwrapper.dll was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.
Your defragwrapper.dll file could be missing due to accidental deletion, uninstalled as a shared file of another program (shared with Ashampoo WinOptimizer), or deleted by a malware infection. Furthermore, defragwrapper.dll file corruption could be caused from a power outage when loading Ashampoo WinOptimizer, system crash while loading defragwrapper.dll, bad sectors on your storage media (usually your primary hard drive), or quite commonly, a malware infection. Thus, it's critical to make sure your anti-virus is kept up-to-date and scanning regularly.
